Today I’m going to talk about whether is it essential for friends to share same hobbies and activities or not. First of all, sharing same interests is deemed indispensable as this will allow friends to build stronger bonds and strengthen their friendship through having meaningful conversations and having quality time together through favorite activities which leads to mutual understanding and building trust between those friends. Another interesting point to be considered is that if people don’t share the same interests, it is not a huge obstacle because this will give them an opportunity to learn from each other and broaden their horizons. Besides, they will learn a few different perspectives which leads to their personal growth and development. Last but not least, when it comes to age, it will not be a crucial factor in friendship because there are multi-parallel friendships that build between people from different ages and it was strong and meaningful. To sum up, I strongly believe that there are several factors that reflect friendship and needs to strengthen it. However, what truly matters is the mutual respect and trust between friends.
Band 7+: It is necessary for good friends to share the same interests. For example, think about: how sharing interests might make a friendship stronger why having different interests might be good for a friendship whether being a similar age is important in a friendship.
